In this paper we merge techniques from the efficiency literature with spatial econometric techniques. In particular, we combine calculation of efficiency from the unit speci c effects with the spatial lag model to develop a spatial autoregressive frontier model for panel data. Features of the...

A new spatial decomposition of TFP growth into direct (own) and indirect (spillover) components is set out. We then apply the decomposition in the context of a spatial autoregressive production frontier analysis of 40 European countries over the period 1995-2008

A framework is proposed for the analysis of non-Gaussian time series under the Gaussian assumption. The analysis is based on the Gaussian autocorrelation computed from the transform of the sample autocorrelation. It is shown that this approach improves the linear autoregressive fit. We also use...

The past decade witnessed a literature on model averaging by frequentist methods. For the most part, the asymptotic optimality of various existing frequentist model averaging estimators has been established under i.i.d. errors. Recently, Hansen and Racine [Hansen, B.E., Racine, J., 2012....

Epidemiological studies have consistently shown short term associations between levels of air pollution and respiratory disease in countries of diverse populations, geographical locations and varying levels of air pollution and climate. The aims of this paper are: (1) to assess the sensitivity...

We introduce a new estimation framework which extends the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to settings where a subset of the parameters vary over time with unknown dynamics. To filter out the dynamic path of the time-varying parameter, we approximate the dynamics by an autoregressive process...

The Ramsey regression equation specification error test (RESET) furnishes a diagnostic for omitted variables in a linear regression model specification (i.e., the null hypothesis is no omitted variables). Integer powers of fitted values from a regression analysis are introduced as additional...
